Smart guided commissioning of industrial control systems

This paper proposes a web application to assist in commissioning of industrial control systems with guided functional tests. The tests verify that trigger conditions produce expected responses within the control system by automatically reading process states from the controllers (e.g., PLCs). The commissioning engineer will receive step-by-step guidance according to the test scripts, real-time feedback, and a final report at the end of the test. The reproducible tests aim to reduce human error and speed up commissioning by automating the tedious task of process state verification.
